Nano-galvanic coupling for enhanced Ag+ release in ZrCN-Ag films: antibacterial application

The antibacterial properties of materials developed for medical devices with embedded silver nanoparticles are enhanced by controlling the release of silver ions. In this study, a simple experimental procedure for the augmentation of the silver ion release from ZrCN-Ag coatings is described. The sil...
